we have built a few controls (not modules) like a better datepicker etc for our use in DNN now we find olurselves needing the module id in a control - now i looked in the controls in the library/controls and see that the user and urlcontrol get this from the v13wstat3 however when i try to do that i get a -1 all the time

 

How should i get the module id in a control for dnn? (i inherit from famework.usercontrolbase i thin this is right but could be part of my problems if its wrong)

If you're using your controls in a module that you built yourself, you can use query strings to pass ModuleId.

Okay I will answer my own question with a solution that seems to work all the time in DNN

 

 

 Dim myPortalModuleBase As DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase = CType(Me.Parent, DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase)

 

Then i can user myPortalModuleBase.ModuleId (or whatever else) to get data from the host control(module) - be aware this makes your controls very specific to DNN - they will break in non DNN sites.

 

Anybody have a reason this is a bad practice?

even better in case you bury controls a few levels deep

 

 Private Function ParentDNNModulePage(ByVal myControl As Control) As DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase
            Dim MyParentID As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase
            Try
                MyParentID = CType(myControl, DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase)
            Catch ex As Exception
                MyParentID = ParentDNNModulePage(myControl.Parent)
            End Try
            Return MyParentID
        End Function

then simply create an object to handle the return


 Dim ModuleInfo As DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase = ParentDNNModulePage(Me)
